I now move towards finding ideas by simple rough sketches and by using simple strokes and this is targetted at audiences below the age of 12. The design of the shape is simple and stylised so that it does not become too heavy for both the artist and the audience.
The start to every digital colouring is by starting with the sky and the lake by using strong direct colour. The shape of the cloud will be by way of stylized cartoon strokes which is light.
I think will create mountain and hills by using lasso tools and separate the layers by the location whether it is near or far.
Then I will separate the layers in the middleground. The use of colours which is thicker and brighter shall be utilised for the part of the grass by using the colour yellowgreen.
I will start with simple geometric motive pattern on the side of the cliff and the hills by using lasso tool for its texture.
The shaping of the branches and trees will be by way of stylised by the concept of sketch art. The colour contrast uses good strong base blue on the shadow of the trees and earth so that the colour will be more prominent.
The process of forming the houses in each part of the art and the touch up on the details shall be the next step.
Finally the final touch up will be the reflection of the water surface by using copy layer on the midddleground that I have done and I will do an inverse image and paste on the part of the sea. Then I will use radial blur so the image will have lesser clarity and would seem like an image on the water.
There you have it. A concept art based on the concept of art cartoon and it took me 3 hours to complete this.
